Feedback from the students

Svetlana Kirichenko (Yekaterinburg)

I took an individual Application Workout course at the Global Ambassador and I want to thank Eugene Efremova for her help in writing a motivation letter, writing a resume and letters of recommendation for entering the university. In writing such documents, I needed tips from a highly qualified specialist, who is Eugene. Thanks to the course, I am now familiar with the structure and logic of compiling these documents, which will be very useful to me in the future. Eugenia’s advice helped me see the purpose of writing, ask questions and correctly answer them. Also during classes, Eugene suggested the right vocabulary, the correct grammatical constructions, answered questions and clarified all incomprehensible points. She guided the course of my thoughts so that the essays were correct and logical and structured. Eugene helped to collect all the material in a holistic text, to make motivational and recommendation letters interesting and stand out among others. I am very pleased with the result!

Evgenia helped me with the preparation of the presentation letter and resume, when I sent the documents to potential scientific advisers. I really liked and remembered how she directed the course of writing my letter - "first you need to answer the question" What do you want? ", Then coherently state the answer in writing." Each time she returned me to the essence of the statement, asking "why did I write this and how does this compare with the previous statement." The skill to ask myself the question “why am I writing this” came in handy not only in preparing documents for doctoral studies, but also in daily correspondence and communication with partners.

Grammar, vocabulary, punctuation - these topics are without a doubt perfectly explained by Eugene during the classes. But the most important thing is her teaching a holistic and structured writing (and not only writing, but also speaking, to be honest).

University of Minnesota (USA), PhD in Applied Economics (full funding)

Many thanks to the company Global Ambassador, and especially Evgenia Efremova for the qualified assistance and advice at all stages of preparation and admission to the university in the USA. Thanks to your help, I entered exactly the university I originally wanted, and the desired program (PhD in Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities). I want to note that I also received positive answers from other universities where documents were submitted (including scholarship proposals and Research Assistantship) ...

Help was not limited to preparing documents for applying to universities. I received advice from the moment I chose the program until I left for the USA. Evgenia Efremova was in touch with me almost around the clock and immediately answered all questions that arose.

Thanks again to her for helping me become a student at the University of Minnesota!

Eugenia helped me deal with all the intricacies of the application process, helped to correctly compose motivational and recommendation letters, and also to prepare for the interview. This, in my opinion, was the main component of my successful admission to the UK magistracy.

Arkady Konovalov (Yekaterinburg)

Ohio State University (USA), Graduate School of Economics, receives a full scholarship

I want to thank the Global Ambassador and Eugene Efremovoiz invaluable help in writing the introductory essay (Statementof Purpose). Tips and tricks on the introductory essay helped turn raw material into a coherent and informative text - which turned out to be one of the decisive factors when entering the PhD program in economics.

University of Leipzig (Leipzig, Germany), Postgraduate Studies in Chemistry

I entered the University of Southern California (USA) and the University of Leipzig (Germany) at the Department of Chemistry. Eugenia Efremova, an employee of the Global Ambassador Consulting Center, was assisted in writing the CV, Statement of purpose, as well as in preparing for the interview. The result of highly qualified assistance was the acceptance of my candidacy for graduate school at both universities. It is significant that the University of Southern California accepted me without exams! ...

Lewen Zhong (China, Nanjing)

Enrolled in graduate studies at Harvard University (USA) and Johns Hopkins University (USA)

I finally decided to go to Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, major in International Development. I also got into a few other graduate schools, such as Harvard, Columbia, Upenn, Ohio State, Purdue, etc. Speaking about my graduate school application last year, Evgeniya Efremova is one of the most important persons that I have to mention. One thing she impressed me the most is her precision ...

As everyone knows, personal statement plays an extremely significant role in the application. I cannot remember how many times Evgeniya helped me proof-read my personal statement. What she emphasized to me was not only the English grammar, but also the idea the article conveyed, and the logic and connection between each sentence. She is a strict advisor.

Her international education experience was another thing which makes her a great advisor. As a Russian native, she went to college in America, and SAIS-Nanjing Center for a one-year graduate certificate program. Besides her native tongue Russian, she speaks English and Chinese quite well. What worth being mentioned is her English has reached the native caliber. Moreover, I am impressed with her passion for international education exchange. She is also a friendly, adaptable and helpful person.

Thank you Evgeniya for giving me important help in getting into my ideal graduate school
